Life is made up of cycles, and so is wine. They make us improve, grow, and develop ourselves and what we do. And so this wine "Cíclic" is a homage to all who appreciate it. It is a red wine made from the best Grenache Noir grapes from the Vinya Núria vineyard. This wine matures for years in the bottle, in which it can further develop and accentuate the complexity of the variety of fresh and mineral nuances.

The harvest is carried out by hand at dawn when the temperature is still cooler. Immediately afterwards they are brought to the winery in small boxes (so as not to damage them), so that the fresh aromas are preserved, the grapes are cooled to 6 ° C, then squeezed and pressed.

The fermentation of the mash begins spontaneously with the yeasts naturally present on the grapes. The wine then matures in barriques for nine months, which gives it a pronounced complexity. 

For this wine, all the work steps prescribed by Demeter were used, but the approval as a Demeter company was only granted after a waiting period of 3 years in 2014.
